Way to go dude, an excellent buy. Now all you need are a set of 14mm bushings so you can put it on the Savage.

Get 'er done and go enjoy the ride...these are some of the best shocks around.

Recieved. I had been a little worried that the spring rate wouldn't be suitable for the Savage, but it is marked on the springs as 115/155. I would not have minded even lighter, but considering they have come off a Harley I am probably lucky to get that. The seller had them measured at 11 3/4 inches. They are in fact 12", which is just what I was looking for. So I feel pretty lucky with all that. Just on general impression there is not comparison between these shocks and the stock ones. Much more solid. I don't have the bushings yet, but I tried them on just to see how they would look. Unfortunately there was not enough clearence with the SE II muffler I have installed. I managed to bend the mount enough that I could get the shocks on, but there is just millimeters clearence. Hopefully a washer or two will give me enough that I feel comfortable with it. Otherwise I will have to add some metel so the muffler points down a bit more. I also removed the belt guard. It does not appear that I will need an additional spacer in place of the removed guard.
